When the rocks could stand the strain no longer, great cracks appeared and one broken edge, the western, was thrust upward and over the other. The edge that was thrust over the other was thousands of feet thick. Ha crumbling formed the mountains and the precipices. When it settled th# western edge of this break overlapped tbe eastern edge ten or fifteen miles.

And It takes very little effort of the Imagination to cbararterDe "Old Nick" as a human being: for. in make-up. he performs all the functions of the flesh and blood lover of the weed, even to the action of tbe lungs. "Old Nick" is merely an Ingenious apparatus for testing cigar*. Uncle Sam's mechanical man.Is no fastidious chooser of what he j smokes.

So It la that none of it gets into tbe "lungs” of “Old Nick." and the smoke that goes out from his "icouth"—the exhaust—4a wholly free from nicotine. The "lung" is at the extreme right and Inhales snd exhales the smoke of the cigars. A tube leads Into tbe "lung" from tbe Jar Into which four indlvtdnat cigar tubes are placed There Is also an Intermediate Jar. which arrests whatever of the nicotine may have escaped from the direct repository.

One Woman Who Knows Secrets, and Keeps Them T HERE Is only one woman In the United flutes who has knowledge of International events before they happen Her name I* Margaret M. Hanna.

No matter who may be the executive head of tbn department, and regardless of whether th* administration Is Democratic or HrpuUioss. the course of the foreign offic* Is sfPFS?! by Mr. Adee. All of (be diplomatic affairs are managed by him The romping unwritten code called international law is to him famllUr In Ha every paragraph, and he has all precedenu at hts fingers ends. But It goes without saying that such bualuass involves an Immense amount of detail, which is where the peculiar and exceptional talent of Miss Hanna comes into play. She ukea all that part, of the work off Mr Adee's hands To him she U like a card catalogue to a librarian—and quite a bit more. In addition. Incidentally to bar duties ahe helps to prepare many sute papers that ore in the last degree confidential In character. She U the custodian of many an important secret affecting the welfare of the country: bat. from hepolnl of view, this Is merely s part of tbe day's work. She forgets tha secret automatically when she leaves the office and goes home. It has oftes been said that a woman cannot keep a secret Perhaps Holding that belief, wrongly or rigbUy. the departnt •» employ them In confidential capacities. B„t Usa p la's case.
